A Suggestion From The Pet Job Community: Stop Ignoring Us and Listen To Our Plea.

Yeah, strange not to see mention of the new jugs or the promised pet job adjustments (for DPS) at all. I thought that was all said to be coming in August?

Pet Job fixes encompasses three different jobs, four if you count SMN.

I can see it getting its own thread, at least I hope so.

As for beast pets, yeah, that should have been included.

We can hope but since PUP was included in the other job adjustments... seems pretty bleak. I guess they just figure we should continue to pay subs for several months while waiting to see what tiny, mediocre, incremental change our jobs will get next.

At this point, I am just waiting for monstrosity updates; rather stomp around on some buffed beastly monsters doing useless crap as opposed to synthing half @$$ed rabbits doing useless crap. Much more enjoyable on Mon I will tell you that much^^

[Mitruya]

Yeah ... not sure yet whether to be excited about the PUPdate, but I really, really want to be a Khimaira. Monstrosity is a nice change of pace so I do hope they keep it going.

Still no love for BST? Tis a shame.

Is anyone else disappointed that none of the pet job classes got included on the Max HP Bonus job trait? I can understand that it might have been a bit untraditional to add pet classes to max hp bonus for lore purposes; however, by giving essentially every other damage dealer except for pet jobs max HP bonus, it's just another reason for players not to invite us because of the large difference between our HP pools. In a game where there is so much emphasis in overpowered-one shot AoE attacks, I think we're entitled to additional HP if we're expected to be fighting up close.

[Mitruya]

Yes I am, I really thought PUP/BST/DRG (or maybe just DRG) would get that.

It wasn't exactly my plan to bump this thread, however, for the sake of not having to create a new thread, I thought I'd just use this one. I just wanted to provide some quick numbers based on the changes to accuracy and ranged accuracy of Automatons in the October Update.

Valor Edge X-900 Head and Frame (PLD)

Accuracy Before Update: 753
Accuracy After Update: 844
Overall change: 91

Sharpshot Z-500 Head and Frame (RNG)

Accuracy Before Update: 719
Accuracy After Update: 810
Overall change: 91

Ranged Accuracy Before Update: 759
Ranged Accuracy After Update: 851
Overall Change: 92
*All accuracy and ranged accuracy was checked when the automaton had no attachments equipped and the Automaton's ILvl was 119.

So it's safe to say that about 90 accuracy was added to automatons when at level 119. This accuracy change is slightly higher than I anticipated the developers would add, but I still don't believe that it's enough. At our current accuracy level we will still need to use Accuracy food and armor that grants accuracy and ranged accuracy to be able to hit efficiently in high level content. Using food isn't really that bad, but needing to use pet accuracy armor will ultimately force us to sacrifice armor that could help with our own damage and accuracy over our pets.

If anyone could provide information on the accuracy, ranged accuracy, and magic accuracy changes for Dragoon, Avatar, and Beastmaster pets, it would be great to know.
